Graphcool Subscriptions

Subscription events are triggered in response to a mutation and the schema mirrors mutations directly. To subscribe to new Posts:

subscription {
  createPost {
    id
    imageUrl
    description
  }
}

Example

Check out the example at https://github.com/graphcool-examples/react-apollo-instagram-subscriptions-example

This is a simple extension of our Instagram example that simply refetches the list of posts when a new post is created

Subscription Debugger

During the beta period we are working on integrating subscriptions in the Graphcool Playground. Until that is done you can use this extended version:

Issues

This is a beta, but we don't expect any major issues. Should you find anything, please let me know in slack or by mail.

If you test it out and everything works, I would also really appreciate it if you could let me know.

Thanks and happy hacking!
